PREFACE. 



Mr. Weaxe having asked me to undertake a Dictionary ot the 
English language to form part of his Rudimentary and Educa- 
tional Series, I was tempted by the opportunity of engaging in 
such a philological undertaking, and encouraged by the remem- 
brance that Noah "Webster began «on a small scale a work which 
has acquired importance as it has grown to large proportions. In 
a like hope I have been encouraged by the publisher, as I trust 
I shall be countenanced by his readers ; and this is the chief 
reward which I can look to for labours which any one can censure 
and few appreciate, as to which each will indulge his own fancies, 
and whereto the critic is just as likely to object for what is new 
and special as for what is erroneous or deficient. Here, too, the 
very necessities of the work will bring against it many objectors. 
Its small size, its close print, and its compactness may be topics 
for blame with those whom its cheapness and the want of a 
dictionary so copious may nevertheless have tempted to become 
buyers. 

There is thus much to discourage an author; and when he thinks 
of the great labours of those who have devoted themselves to this 
subject, he may well have misgivings as to his own power to give 
it a new form or achieve success. A new edition or an abridgment 
of Johnson or Webster would indeed in this instance have escaped 
censure, and might have been more acceptable; but there are 
many such reproductions, and they can scarcely be put in a 
cheaper form to be useful. It is the fault of abridgments that 
they gire the words everybody knows; and do not give the words 
that are not known or not well known. Then, too, it is to be 
observed, that the design of this Rudimentary Series is to produce 

b 



IV PREFACE. 

a set of handbooks, not for schoolboys only, but to which the man 
of science may refer, as well as the working-man. I was therefore 
called upon to comply with these conditions by giving a new 
character to the work, and all I have to regret is that the space 
has on this occasion been wanting to allow of the necessary 
development of the plan which I have, as it were, barely 
sketched. 

A great merit, and thereby a deficiency in our standard diction- 
aries, so far as their general use by the population is concerned, is 
that they are founded on literary considerations, under which a 
printed authority is required for a word ; the word, too, is criti- 
cally examined before it is admitted; it may be absolutely rejected, 
or it may lie for years under the interdict of the censors. This is 
a merit, so far as a written and printed language is concerned, and 
is strictly applicable to the dead classical language* ; but it has 
seemed to me the English language is to be otherwise treated, that 
the English people require something more than a dictionary of 
book words. While our literature is to be placed in the highest 
rank with that of the most celebrated nations, so we have too 
another learning, it may almost be said another Language, to 
which our political constitution gives no less importance : the 
words of a Byron, Bulwer, Dickens, Scott, or Cooper may be read 
by hundreds of thousands ; but the words of a Brougham, Webster, 
Canning, or Clay sent abroad through the organs of the press are 
read by millions, and make a no less powerful impression. We 
may regret that the speeches of Washington, Chatham, or Fox 
want an appropriate record, but henceforth the reputation of 
the orator will not depend upon vague rumour nor his influence be 
bounded by the senate chamber ; for as soon as morning dawns, his 
thoughts are echoed to a wider audience of his countrymen, the 
circle spreads beyond the oceans, and he appeals at oace to his 
brethren in England, in America, in Australia, — to a nation of 
freemen, trained to think, to speak, and to act. 

It is the growth of the newspaper press which has given this im- 
portance to the English oral language, the influence of which cannot 
be long neglected. While the lexicographer is hesitating, weigh- 
ing, suspending, harshly rejecting, or tardily admitting, a language 
is being worked out, which will re-act again upon our literature. 
The periodical press, hardly dignified with the name, much less 
with the honours of literature, though it embodies some of the most 
classical compositions in our language, is not accepted as an 
academic authority; and yet the Times ought to be as eligible an 



PREFACE. V 

authority as some book long since defunct, and only known by its 
epitaph or the title on its coffin-plate. The periodical press forms 
nevertheless the connecting link between the written and the 
spoken language, between the artificial polish of Macaulay and the 
rude utterance of the boor; and it exercises a veritable influence, 
the more especially as some recognized literary forms partake more 
or less of the oral character. Such is immediately the drama, and, 
to a great degree, as describing actual life, the modern novel of 
character and dialogue. Apart from philological considerations, 
the mark of the spoken language, distinguishing it from the 
written language, is that it lives and breathes instinctive with the 
inspiration of the moment, receiving new ideas as they are newly 
born, fresh with the quick growth of an age of rapid progress and 
teeming invention. The new machine or instrument quickly 
adopted becomes the source of new and ingenious ideas. There is, 
further, a character of originality appertaining to actual life which 
impresses itself on our language, and gives to it a vitality and 
nervousness as contrasted with academic forms. The newspaper 
article or the novel sometimes partakes too much of colloquial 
negligence ; on the other hand the rising school of poetry is 
adopting more vigorous and more national forms from the oral 



When we consider the national habits in our legislature, our 
courts of law, and even in our public celebrations, and that every 
freeman is a speaker, good or bad, so the number of speakers is 
greater than that of writers, nor do the former yield in eminence 
nor in the importance of their subjects. Under our free constitu- 
tions legislative and deliberative bodies are in constant session, 
from the Imperial Parliament and Congress of the United States to 
the legislatures of Nevis or Rhode Island, from the senate to the 
wardmote, the parish vestry and the township meeting. In this 
way all classes are brought together, and a constant exercise of 
thought is kept up. 

If the public speaker always adopted the precise forms of the 
written literature there would be only an extension of its 
influence ; but that literature has been too long under the domi- 
nation of artificial models, and has not such immediate reference 
to the organic character of the English language as to exercise a 
permanent and absolute supremacy. The spoken language too 
has become the repository of words slighted or unrecorded, of 
indigenous forms of speech and idioms unrecognised by the 
scholastic grammarians, but flourishing in spite of them— of the 



VI PREFACE. 

treasury of traditions, proverbs, folklore, saws, local and personal 
references, technical terms, and such a medley of thoughts and 
their signs as are left after twenty centuries of busy existence as a 
nation. A language on which Home Tooke, Richardson, and 
Latham could publish what they have is not so well determined 
in its philological constitution that Murray's Grammar can be 
accepted as all-sufficient, or even the style of Pope or Johnson be 
adopted as the infallible models they were once held to be. 

Guided by these views, and so far as the space allows, the 
language is here treated of in reference to its spoken as well as its 
written characteristics, equally as it is exemplified by the news- 
paper and by the classic authority, and with more particular con- 
sideration of the requirements of the public generally rather than 
of scholars. This work is meant to be a dictionary of the English 
language as spoken and written, with the most copious vocabulary 
yet produced, and with the meanings given in words of English 
or Anglo-Saxon root, rather than of Greek or Latin, as more 
likely to be understood by working-men and by children. It is 
intended, too, to be a work for Englishmen in the widest meaning; 
not one which like that of Johnson shall limit itself to the pro- 
vincial institutions of England, or, like that of Webster, be called 
an American dictionary, but one which can be used either in these 
islands, in the United States, or Australia. Great as is the merit 
of Webster's book, it is to be regretted that it has a sectional 
character, whereby an inducement is held out to reproduce John- 
son's edition, or to compile a dictionary for England, which is now 
dependent for its best work of reference on this provincial dic- 
tionary of the New England writer. The motive which inspired 
him was a worthy one, that of vindicating American objects, 
but it would have been better had he compiled an English instead 
of an American dictionary. 

The first edition of this work having been nearly two years 
going through the press, and a second edition being required, 1 
have had the opportunity of introducing some improvements in 
the latter part, and likewise of seeing defects, which I can only 
hope to amend in future editions, for which materials are 
collecting. In a work embracing so many details, errors are 
unavoidable, and I shall feel obliged for any communications on 
this subject. The opportunity has, however, already been taken 
of correcting several errors in the stereotyped plates.

CONTENTS OF THE DICTIONARY. 
The chief features of this Dictionary are as follows : — 

It includes far above a hundred thousand words, and at least 
sixty thousand more than any dictionary that has yet been 
published, reckoning the number of words by the same 
standard as in other dictionaries. 

The meanings are given by words of English or Anglo-Saxon 
root, instead of by words of Latin or French stock, which 
latter are not so well understood by the bulk of the people. 

The number of additional meanings given for old words and 
not to be found in other dictionaries will be found to be above 
ten thousand, and there are many emendations and corrections 
of the recorded meanings, though for want of space the 
meanings are here given shortly and indeed by the shortest 
words. 

The imperfect tenses and past participles of the verbs are given 
in their colloquial as well as printed form, although some of 
them are never written as pronounced. 

The participles which are used as adjectives are so distinguished, 
and likewise those which, being only used passively with the 
verb to be and certain prepositions, are distinguished by me 
as verbal adjectives, and which constitute a large class of 
idiomatic forms. 

The prepositions used after verbs, participles, adjectives, 
substantives, and adverbs, and appropriate to them, or modi- 
fying their meanings, are given generally with the words, 
whereas even in Webster only a short list of these prepositions 
will be found in a separate list. The prepositions modifying 
the meanings of words are given much more copiously than 
heretofore. 

The nouns collective and the collective forms of nouns are 
distinguished for the first time. It has seemed desirable to 
make this distinction, not only because the collective in ing 
has been disregarded by philologists, but because the noun 
collective seldom admits of the plural form, and then only 
as indicating several collective groups. 

The compound words are given very copiously, because these 
words are formed so readily and loosely in English, that 
very various meanings of the rootword figure among the com- 
pounds and require explanation. Where a special meaning if 

b'2 



Vlll PliEFACE. 

not required, the word is sometimes left without explanation 
appended. 

Many parts of compounds given separately by Webster have 
been omitted, because they do not exist as independent words, 
though, as this Dictionary is for the purpose of economizing 
space, arranged to a great extent under roots. Some foreign 
words have been sparingly admitted for etymological pur- 
poses, which are not otherwise used. 

A large number of abbrevations of various kinds has been 
given, because some occur in English and American news- 
papers, and others in poetry or in conversation. 

Words referring to political questions and places have been 
explained. 

The number of technical terms is on a large scale, though space 
has not allowed of full or detailed meanings being given. 

In spelling, Webster has been chiefly followed ; and generally 
where a choice is allowable the spelling nearest to the pro- 
nunciation has been adopted; wherever possible the s has 
been preferred to c, and the z to s for the z sound. Words 
beginning with cA, sh, and th are classed as if under distinct 
letters, though their alphabetical order is not disturbed. 
The expense and incumbrance of marked type to distinguish 
the several sounds of the vowels and consonants could not 
here be adopted, but the properties of the initial letters, as 
of the h still and aspirated, &c, are distinguished. Irregular 
spellings of medieval and colloquial forms are given where 
necessary. 

The accentuation is given in all cases, and it will generally be 
found that of Webster, except where other authority has pre- 
vailed here ; but American and other independent accentua- 
tion, where allowable, has been likewise recorded, as well as 
those cases of two or tbree accentuations of equal authority. 

AH. provincial words are given which are of English origin, 
because the prevalence of one dialect as the accepted language 
does not supersede the philological rights of the other dialects. 
Simple dialectic variations of spelling are not however recorded 
unless exceptionally. 

On the same ground English or Anglo-Saxon words are given 
which no longer occur in our literature or are used collo- 
quially, but which are incorporated in the language in the 
names of persons or places. The object has been to explain 
every essential part of the language, whether in the folklore 



PREFACE. IX 

of our fathers in Jutland, in the Anglo-Saxon, Anglo- 
Danish, or Anglo-Norman writings, in the compositions of 
the middle ages, or those of the latest period and of the pre- 
sent day. 

Many names of towns which are spoken otherwise than as they 
are written are here given. 

No word has been rejected as being obsolete ; for such words at 
any rate require explanation, and they may be revived as the 
fashions of former ages are reproduced. 

Words taking a or an before them in exceptional cases, and not 
usually distinguished, are here noted. 

The etymological standard adopted has reference to the Frisian 
and other languages akin to the English rather than to High 
Dutch or the Scandinavian languages. 

The Grammae, which forms part of this work will be found to 
have several distinctive features. 

A sketch has been given of comparative philology and of the 
philological characteristics of the English language. 

The relations of nouns substantive are given at considerable 
extent, and the collective form of the nonn is treated as a 
recognized form. The words are treated in a form suitable 
to the idioms of the language, the auxiliary and participial 
relations being fully given. 

The compound prepositions and pronouns are introduced. 

The Syntax is more efficiently carried out by the idiomatic 
relations of the parts of speech being given under the Etymo- 
logy. 

The Prosody is founded on a new and practical basis, conform- 
able to the relations of the language. 

The Grammar is written as far as may be in words of English 
root. 

It is a grammar of the spoken as well as of the written 
language. 

In such parts of the Dictionary as are merely compilation I have 
used Johnson, Webster, Bichardson, and Bosworth. The editions 
of Webster adopted by me have been those of Mr. Goderich and 
Mr. Joseph E. Worcester. The other works by which I have 
been guided to a greater or less extent include among others 
those of iElfric, Ben Jonson, Junius, Camden Hickes, Spelman, 
Llwyd, Gibson, Bay, Lowth, Benjamin Franklin, Barretti, Bailey,

Ruddiman, Dilworth, Ashe, Coles, Sheridan, Wallis, Home Tooke, 
Walker, Murray, Adelung, Bopp, Grimm, Raske, Zeuss, Jamie- 
son, Alexander Crombie, Knowles, Cobbett, Prichard, B. Thorpe, 
Kemble, Latham, Halliwell, D. Booth, and Goold Brown. 

In the additions made, I have profited by the Penny, National 
and English Cyclopaedias, Weale's Dictionary of Terms, the Dic- 
tionary of Mining Terms, and Notes and Queries. 

Besides previous notes and collections, the additions include 
those from notes on the " Times," " New York Herald, " and 
" Punch," and from most of the leading literary and many 
technical periodicals for some years, as likewise from the works 
of Dickens, Bulwer, Jerrold, Thackeray, Tennison, Longfellow, 
Grote, Macaulay, and Bancroft. 

I am indebted for contributions and assistance to several 
gentlemen ; among whom I have to offer my thanks to Mr. P. L. 
Simmonds, Mr. P. E. Barnes, B.A., Mr. W. H. Leeds, the Rev. J. 
F. Hinde, B.A., and Mr. Edwin Hyde Clarke. 

These various additions are of a miscellaneous character, con- 
tributing to the completeness of the work. They embrace words 
from Folklore, Anglo-Saxon, Anglo - Danish, Anglo-Norman, 
Medieval, Elizabethan, and Seventeenth Century sources ; — 
terms provincial, colloquial, and obsolete, — from the dialects of 
London, Kent, the Eastern Counties (three sources), Western 
Counties (three sources), Midland, North of Trent, New England, 
Canada, California, West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, South 
Africa, India, China, Spanish America ; — from the French ; — 
from geology and mineralogy, botany, zoology, bird-fancying, 
ethnology, medicine ; — terms relating to trades, architecture, 
building, engineering, military affairs, chemistry, commerce, 
cookery, — to theology,— to politics, English, American, colonial, 
foreign, — to the City of London, — to archeology, classical philo 
logy, and the fine arts, — to geography, — to new inventions a 
institutions, as photography, daguerrotyping, gold mining, rail- 
ways, steam navigation, the electric sciences, mining, joint-stock 
companies, social economy. 

USE OF THIS DICTIONARY. 

To save space, and compress the large amount of matter within 
this limited number of pages, it has been needful to resort to 
every expedient which can effect this ; for more words are included 
in this Dictionary than there are lines in the book. 



PREFACE. XI 

The root word is divided by a hyphen (-), and of the remaining 
words belonging to that root only the end syllables are given, as : 
Sen'ti-ent, n ; — ent, a ; — ently, ad ; — ency, n ; 
— ment, n. 
Where a change takes place in the accent or in the root word, a 
new division, by hyphen (-), is introduced, thus : 

Sentimen'-tal, a; — tally, ad; — talkess, — talism, 
— tal'ity, n. 

Where the ruling accent falls on the end syllables, as in 
Sentimen-tal'ity, the word is not divided afresh. 

— This mark is used instead of do., to show that a word is 
repeated for another part of speech, as, Se'riotjs, a ; — , n ; that is 
to say, Se'rious, adjective ; Se'riotjs, noun. 

The meanings are not repeated after a word when a termina- 
tional change only takes place, the termination of the meaning 
being the same as the termination of the word to be explained. 
Where the meanings are the same or nearly alike, or in words of 
the same termination, they are not repeated. Thus will be found 
Se'riotjs, a earnest ; grave ; solemn ; weighty ; — ly, ad ; 
— ness, n. 
These are to be read, 

Se'riotjs, adjective, earnest ; grave ; solemn ; weighty. 
Se'blotjsly, adverb, earnestly ; gravely ; solemnly ; weightily.

ness ; cruelness ; graveness ; keenness ; inclementness. 
Sever'ity, noun substantive, harshness ; sharpness ; stern- 
ness ; cruelness or cruelty ; graveness or gravity ; keenness ;

lessness ; fashionlessness. 
Sha'pelt, adjective, having form, make, model, figure, mold 

fashion, frame, cut, pattern, or manner. 

Where a word is both noun substantive and adjective, it i» 
sometimes marked n, a, without being repeated. 

v 9 verb, A verb that is both transitive and intransitive is 
marked v without transitive and intransitive being repeated ; 
verbs that are only transitive or intransitive are so distinguished. 

Where the imperfect and past participle end in ed, they are 



PEEFACE. Xiil 

not distinguished ; but where otherwise formed, they are givea 
in a parenthesis after the verb, as, Run (ran, run), v ; that is to 
say, imperfect Ran, past participle Run ; Shape (sha'ped, sha'ped 
or sha'pen) v ; that is to say, imperfect Sha'ped, past participle 
Sha'ped or Sha'pen. 

Where the imperfect and past participle are the same, one form 
only is used, as, Set (set) ; that is to say, imperfect Set, past 
participle Set. 

The participles of verbs, whether past or present, that are used 
as adjectives or nouns, are marked simply as* adjectives or nouns, 
and not as participles, as Rtjf'eled, Set, Setting, Run'ning. 

Prepositions. The prepositions used idiomatically with sub- 
stantives, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs, are placed after them in 
brackets, as, Rtjle [ — over, — with, — by]; Fond'ness [ — for]; 
Deli'ght [ — in] ; Ru'^ioe, [ — about] ; S a'ceed [ — to ] ; Save 
~ — from, — by, — in] ; Tale: [ — about, — of, — with, — to] ; 
Tal'ly [ — with]; Unchanged [ — by]; Uncon'scious [ — of]. 

The prepositions used with the root word will generally apply to 
the derived words. Where the prepositions modify the meanings 
of words, they are put after them in italics, as Take, — about, 
carry about, &c. 

Italics are used for two purposes : — 1. To mark foreign words, 
as, Vascula'res, Syrin'ga, 2. To mark iiiomatical expressions, 
as, Take about ; Take advantage of; Take oath; By threes, three 
at a time, &c. 

Accentuation. The accent on the vowel signifies that the 
sound is as of a in ale, e in sere, i in wine, o in bone, u in cure, 
y in by. 

The words are in many cases arranged under their roots or 
leading components; and this is shown by their being indented, as, 
Rtjd, n redness ; blush ; ruddle. 

Rtjd'dy, a reddish, &c. 

Rud'dle, n red ocher. 

Rtjd'dock, n redbreast. 
Scinti'lla, n spark ; particle.
